Obligatory Worse Is Better by Richard P. Gabriel reference
TL;DR for those unfamiliar: the guy (an important figure in programming/Lisp history) argues with himself for a few decades over what’s the better of two different approaches to software development: good-enough but hacky/limited/worse software tends to outcompete more complete/elegant/correct software because it gets to market quicker and makes iterative growth from there. Essential reading for anyone interested in programming history, or just software in general.
